The issue of potholes on Mumbai roads has become a classical civil issue in the city and on several occasions, the citizens have criticised Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and Shiv Sena for the same.

Ahead of the Maharashtra assembly elections and monsoon season, the issue of potholes remains the highlight among the opposition parties and people.

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has launched a campaign - ‘Selfie with Khadda (pothole)’ - in Andheri’s Versova. Under this campaign, the person who will get the “best selfie” with potholes will be provided with a cashback.

Shiv Sena has occupied the BMC for several years now and yet Mumbaikars have not got a
decent road. The bad condition of roads leads to
accidents and deaths in several cases. Our campaign is getting a good response from the people,”saidMNS leader Sandesh
Desai.

According to an
RTI, nearly
₹46.25 crores have been spent for fixing 2,268 potholes in the year 2013-14. On an average, more than ₹2 lakh have been spent on fixing the potholes on Mumbai roads.
